Global Footprint

Our vision says it loud and clear – “To innovate and craft a high-skills ecosystem that makes us a world-class powerhouse”. As we build skill sets around emerging and niche sub-sectors of the high-income, high-skills economy that are innovative, unique and untapped, forging global alliances that have the requisite expertise is not only a fad, it is a must.

The Republic of Mauritius has been a trailblazer worldwide by striving for greater access and equity in tertiary education. As from January 2019, the Government has been visionary in selecting ten public institutions in the higher education sphere to make completing a bachelor level degree free for first-time local students participating in tertiary education. This has been a game changer in opening the doors of tertiary education for many students from low-income families or vulnerable groups. No more will financial burden stop students and families from stepping up on the skill ladder and better job opportunities.

As the only tertiary, upper TVET institution in Mauritius, Polytechnics shoulders the responsibility to diversify the offerings for students in Mauritius in practical fields such as health science and nursing, IT and emerging technologies, engineering and logistics, marine and ocean sector and the tourism and hospitality.

Polytechnics Mauritius partners with global academic institutions to deliver on industry’s current and future needs that will unleash the next cycle of vacancies and jobs. Polytechnics focuses on emerging sectors of the economy and new skillsets. Often times, the expertise is not available locally and through global alliances, knowledge transfer and skillset exchange become possible. Many employers are waiting on these skills set to be launched in Mauritius to address their demands.

Multi-modal Pathways

Polytechnics Mauritius focuses mainly on work-ready diplomas for school leavers and re-skilling, up-skilling and redeployment programmes for middle-to-high skilled technicians and working professionals. In this quest, students often wish to pursue further education opportunities at local or international universities after completion of their diplomas or advance diplomas.

The novelty and distinctiveness of Polytechnics Mauritius is the offer of multi-modal pathways. Polytechnics takes immense pride in welcoming a diverse population of students from all across the island. Some have performed academically really well, some less well but are die-hard enthusiasts about their fields of intended work and some are passionate to discover new skills and have not yet made up their minds on their chosen jobs and careers.

Above all, the multi-modal pathways provide an opportunity for students to complete a bachelor-cycle qualification that will make them more attractive to employers. What sets us apart however is our ability to connect students with the right pathway based on their ability, expectations and aspirations.

Why multi-modal? A student completing an international diploma in Mauritius can either choose to complete a Bachelor at a local university in Mauritius or progress onto the home campus in the country of origin or join an international campus of the international university around the world. Many choices stemming from only one programme pursued at Polytechnics Mauritius. Students can continue along the cycle of “Free Tertiary Education Scheme (FTES)” with no tuition fee payable in Mauritius or incur the international fees at the international university.

Student Mobility

Research is clear on the beneficial effects of intercultural exchange, transnational partnerships and global exposure. Students who immerse themselves in international transfers or mobility programmes forge new friendships, build a greater understanding of the world and develop empathy that serves them well in their jobs and careers. It is natural for students enrolled at Polytechnics Mauritius to think of their careers as comprising an international stint – having registered with an international credential such as HTMi Switzerland, McMaster Canada, La Trobe in Australia or UNIMY and UniKL in Malaysia, among others. It is no surprise that Polytechnics facilitates this process by offering an array of international languages such as Mandarin, German and Italian.
